How it works

1
Text the class.
Send “watch MATH 2212” or a CRN. The first time, it asks which school you go to.
2
Pick your sections.
It sends back every section with its time and open seats. At GSU it also shows each professor's average GPA and D/F/W rate in that course. Reply with the ones you want, up to 5 at a time.
3
Register when it texts you.
Open seats go fast, so sign up on your school's site right away. SeatSnipe can't hold a seat or register for you.

What does it cost?: Nothing this semester.
Why is it an iCloud address?: SeatSnipe runs on iMessage, so you text it like you'd text a friend. That's also why it only works on iPhone.
Does it need my school login?: No. It checks the public class schedule anyone can search without logging in, and it'll never ask for your password.
How often does it check?: About every 90 seconds during the day, and every 15 minutes from 1 to 6 AM.
How many texts will I get?: One each time a seat opens in a section you're watching. After 3 alerts for the same section it stops and tells you how to turn it back on. Text STOP any time to stop everything.
Where do the grades come from?: GSU publishes grade distributions for its classes. SeatSnipe uses the last three years and only shows a professor's numbers once at least 20 students got a letter grade from them in that course.
Which schools?: Live at GSU. Coming soon to Georgia Tech, UGA and Kennesaw State.
